Easier said then done. The young crowd and techies love social media all hoping to be Twitter famous. I dont think it's even about trying to make a career out of it making money, since I'll assume people know that and they have a normal job aside of tweeting. Just trying to be popular in a different way than Hollywood red carpet famous.
He got 1k people paying him on patreon? or got 1k a month through patreon?
I don't understand why everyone (read: seemingly people on the left side of standard political arguments mostly) is so annoyed about Musk buying Twitter. Maybe I'm just not in the know enough but what exactly is everyone afraid he'll do?
Nobody young is using Twitter, brah. It's all ageing boomers and creaking millennials who think they're young.
Judging from his patreon, he had two tiers. Basic 1.50 euro per month and then a 3.50 euro per month.
He did what Apple News is doing. Aggregating stuff from various sources. The idea isn't even that bad. But he could not get it to work so he stopped. kudos to him for trying to hustle.Seems like he was expecting to make a stable income from... basically retweeting stuff.
Looks like nobody thought his content was worth paying for.
He used to be a user here. Was one of the REEEsetEra founders iirc, then pursued a career on Twitter.Who is he?
Who cares
Why don't these people just host there own misskey instance? Like this one
If you don't like twitter or discord, support open standards like misskey or Matrix.

He tried to monetize with Patreon and it didn't work. It's very hard to monetize a face less social media account, especially when the content isn't original.
I don't understand those who celebrate the moves of billionaires. If twitter chases away many of those who don't support him it'll just turn into Parler or truth social. Two dying platforms. Needs a mix of different people to remain a different.
There is no such thing as blocking, ignoring, or filtering. There is no curating your own experience through provided tools. There is only complaining until someone else curates your experience on your behalf or leaving a platform entirely in protest.
I don't pay attention to that stuff. The Rumorverse is fun, but I don't really look at who starts the rumors.
What's the difference between celebrating the moves of a billionaire and the moves of someone penniless? it can be good or bad either way.
Yeah, that is fucking ridiculous if he got that much from tweeting news. I assume he expected that people aren't gonna continue to pay him through his scheme and he started to cry and made this dramatic exit.
Have you seen the moves Musk is already planning to make:
One isn't inherently built on exploitation?
I just skimmed the article and checked Twitter myself. I dont have a Twitter account so I was never able to search stuff. It'd say sign up for Twitter. But now, I can. I just did a random search for NHL and it brought up some team reco pages which worked when I clicked them.
I'll believe it when it's reported by sites other than ones with massive Musk hate-boners.
